As a result of a traffic accident, two people lost their lives
The capital's law enforcement officials have reported suspicions against the Tesla driver, who was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the fatal crash in the Solomyansky district.
This was reported by the Kyiv police communication department.
The tragedy occurred last week when the driver exceeded the speed limit and, losing control, crashed into a concrete fence. The vehicle overturned, resulting in the deaths of two passengers – a 40-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman – at the scene.
“The driver was found to be under the influence of alcohol – the 'Dräger' device indicated 1.84 per mille,” the police reported.
The driver has been detained. She is facing charges under part 4 of Article 286-1 of the Criminal Code – violation of road safety rules or operation of vehicles by persons under the influence of alcohol. The article carries a penalty of up to twelve years in prison, along with a ban on driving for up to ten years.
“Currently, investigators are petitioning the court for the suspect to be remanded in custody,” the police statement reads.
